About this listen

Teenagers are tough and anyone who has their own needs help. Here it is: a witty, enjoyable and genuinely helpful guide that breaks the mould.

Get Out Of My Life offers practical alternatives to anger, nagging and frustration, and specific recommendations for developing better relationships with even the most difficult teenagers. This is the best survival manual for parents who find themselves marooned among volatile and incomprehensible aliens on Planet Teen. It looks at all the difficult issues of bringing up teenagers - school, sex, drugs and even suicide.

I didn't think I'd enjoy this book. It was recommended by a friend when I told her about one of my daughters tantrums. The book is entertaining and informative. I have changed tack and I've noticed my daughters confusion when things haven't gone as she thought a confrontation would. Worth a listen, you've nothing to lose.

This is a very clever and witty explanation of why teenagers act like they do ... and understanding that is a powerful aid to dealing with their issues and the difficulties inherent in relating to your nearest and dearest teens. It is full of moments where the authors put into words issues that the listener can relate to and give a logical explanation and insight. Much of it is common sense that gets lost in the fog of teenage angst, but they brilliantly put it into context and deflate the pressure. This should be compulsory listening for anyone with a teenager or a pre-teen.

A must for all parents of teenagers

Enjoyable quick book, certainly lightened the burden of raising teens these days but it's a bit light and airy. I wouldn't say if gave any real useful tools to apply in a practical manner

Amusing but a bit thin in content and depth

Although you click the Audible link from the new edition: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Get-Out-Life-bestselling-teenagers/dp/1781253315/ref=sr_1_1?crid=Y0H1XVBAMDLX&keywords=get+out+of+my+life+but+first+take+me+and+alex+into+town&qid=1578248944&sprefix=get+out+of+my+life+but+first+%2Caps%2C167&sr=8-1
You get the older edition on Audible so it doesn't really cover the Social Media issues

I found that some of it was helpful but not as much as I'd hoped.

I found the book helpful, enjoyable, illuminating and hopeful.
I have passed it on to friends, colleagues and clients as many people struggle to understand what is happening in adolescence and worry about their role as parents.

Great book for everyone

I wish this book had been available 10 years ago. Oh wait it was... I wish I had known about it.

There isn't really much guidance in it about how to do parenting - but it's more about how you should see parenting. And if you see it right, you'll do it right.

Really easy to listen to. Narrator is mesmerising.

A real eye opener

Reading the book through the stories as if conversations of parent Teenager was a good way to connect and relate to Teenager's own voice and they way they think, my only issue was the voices and conversations felt to me of a daughter and Mother which is useful if you are a Mum and have a daughter. Personally I have a son I didn't find a connection with them half as much. Girls and boys have different issues so If your a Dad with a son I would try to look for a book the concentrates more on Father / Son as you will likely get more out of it

Good for Daughter /Morher

fantastic

I learned a little to be fair, and did stick with it to the end, but it REALLY needs updating to cover the 24/7 internet connected generation. The biggest criticism though... the narration was DREADFUL! Sounded like an 1950s information film. Snooty condescending tone made it hard for me to take ideas seriously.

Outdated
